An overlay analysis between some polygons and a few lines has turned into quite the ordeal.I hope the supplied workspace and data is self-explanatory.In it there is four tests that yield different results. I start with clipping the lines with the polygons followed by a spatial relator intended on creating a list of references. I would expect that relator would find a relation between all lines since they can only be INSIDE. But more than half fails. To test the reason I run it through an Intersector and measure the distance from intersection node to polygon mask. I guess that is supposed to be 0, but 3 of 20 return a value larger than 0 - meaning that the intersectionnode is not in the intersection.    

Hi,I have a workspace where I use the oracle database connections as a variable. This works fine. When a runs the workspace a published parameter determines which connection is used. But when I publish this on fme server. I get an authorisation failure: FME Server error: `Unauthorized request by user due to lack of proper permissions for connection: **@**. Please see: http://fme.ly/zn8' Connections in fme server are available as in the variable.

Hello, I use a Reader to list files inside a directory, connected to a FeatureReader to read the features. Currently, all features of all files are merged. ie. if I have 100 files with 100 features each, the output of FeatureReader will be 10.000 features. Is it possible to iterate incrementally over each file, ie. to execute a pipeline independently for each input file, so that the FeatureReader will be executed 100 times with 100 output features ? Thanks!

Hello, Texture UV coordinates are not set in geometry if no texture is provided to AppearanceSetter. My use case is that texture is provided later in the pipeline (at render time). Is that a bug? Thanks.

hi,I have a number of lidar files in LAS format. I’m using reading las, then combining them and tiling them, then writing zlas. Everything is OK except that I get a message that there is a value-converting from rel64 to int32. Is-it possible to get the results las files in rel64.

Hi new at this...I am trying to separate some data from a CSV separated by a comma and then merge it back into one feature, I can't work out how to merge the 4 results I get from each entry.

Hi,I have some FME workspaces, that investigate the recent FME log files from previous translations. This is done to uncover any problems in a rational way.I want to extract the statistics at the bottom, but the "|STATS |" string is used extensively thru-out the log file, and would completely swamp the output if this was the only search criteria (while reading as a TEXT file).Do anyone have a good idea how to extract just the summation details ?CheersLars I

Hello, For a FME workflow involving hydrographic CSAR raster files both band and point coordinate information are present in the file. The point coordinate information is the location where the measurement to generate the raster file was taken. This is crucial information for a user.According to the help page of CSAR raster (CARIS Spatial Archive (CSAR) Raster Quick Facts (safe.com)) this GCP and Z-value information, which to my knowledge is the point measurement location, is not included in the functionality of the CSAR reader or writer. Is there a workaround available in FME to include this point information in the CSAR raster file ? It is important that is saved in the same manner as in the original file. If not,would it be possible to add this functionality in future releases ?  Thank you!

I can create an AWS RDS Postgres Reader and Writer on FME Desktop and successfully run the workspace. However after publishing the workspace FME Server it fails. It looks like Readers/Writers to AWS RDS Postgres are not using system Proxy Settings. Completed steps in manually setting the proxy:port using fme.exe in the FME Documentation.  Thanks 

Hi everyone, I'm using FME Desktop 2022.1 and I would like to use the LDAP reader with an encrypted connection (LDAPS, Port 636).  When testing the stored connection I get the following error:javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested targetI know how to get the root and the ldap server certificate. But where do I have to store them within the FME Desktop installation? Kind regards,Peter

I would like to calculate the average of pixels for each polygon, how can I do that? I have several raster fragments and several polygons.  Thanks

Here is my colour setter. I also tried GeometryColorSetter and it worked, but the coloured output is too bad. Random colours are spread so badly. @chrisatsafe​ @Hans van der Maarel​ @safesoftware safesoftware​ 

Hi, I will try to upload shapefile to geoserver over the rest api.This should be possible with the HTTPCaller! I am using the following option: - http methode: PUTUpload from data...But I get the error: I have access to the given url. So what is the problem here?Does someone has experience in uploading shapes to geoserver with fme?

Hello FME friends,Welcome to the What's Up Wednesday newsletter for October 26th, 2022.  For reasons of space, this is an extract from the full version of this newsletter, which you can find here on LinkedIn. Spatial "For Dummies"Did you know that Safe Software helped to produce an e-book on this subject? The actual title is "Spatial Data for the Enterprise for Dummies", but that was just a bit long to fit in a heading.  The book is available for free download from our website. Obviously, it's not in-depth technical content or training. Instead, it's a very good overview of the sort of work that we're all doing with FME. For existing FME users, I think it's a great book to share, for example, with the manager who doesn't quite get what you do, or what the potential is. Like, "You remember what I was saying about Real Time Tracking, and Digital Twins? This book shows how useful they would be." And they might not even notice you'v

Block legacy authentication with Azure AD with Conditional Access How will this influence the FME Server Azure AD integration? And what can be done to fix it? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/block-legacy-authentication

Have a FeatureWriter to insert data into a SQL table. It ran successfully without any error. However, no data shown in the destination database table. Reviewed the log and it says Features not written (see below):Below is the Feature Writer: Both FME Desktop and Server are the same 2021 version. FeatureWriter insert works well in my other workspace. Not sure why it didn't work here.

Hello, I would like to use a FeatureReader as an entry point of my workspace.But only Reader can work. As a workaround, I use a Reader to read a dummy file (ie. an image) connected to a FeatureReader. Is it possible to choose an arbitrary transformer (ie. FeatureReader) as an entry point? Thanks!

I want to make a custom transformer with a geodatabase SDE table reader from a specific table, and some other transformers. But when i try to create it, the SDE reader is converted into an input of the custom transformer. Isn't it possible to have a fixed reader in a custom transformer?

Hi, i try to extract a map extend from arcgis. I need to create a polygone with the map extend. Not the data extend. Can you help me ?

I work for a city entity and have a federated login. I'd like to connect to ArcGIS Online in FME Data Inspector so that I can use a specific basemap. Is this possible? How can I format my credentials here?Thanks!

I have reviewed the recommended Virtual Memory settings in this post. But, my server is hosted in Azure. It has 32GB of physical memory, 4 cores, and has a dedicated 149GB drive for the pagefile that is managed by Azure. Still getting this error when reading in 5M well records from Enverus data to our SQL Server Enterprise Geodatabase (SDE). The FME version is the lates - 2022.1.3. Just upgraded from 2020.2.2. 2020.2.2 did not have this issue.  To clarify - I have NOT made the suggested settings as Azure manages the pagefile and it is substantial.

Hi All, I'm looking for the latest, or what you have found, the best workbench/template for generating (as much is possible) FGDC compliant metadata. I'll be using a template xml document. Any and all recommendations are welcome! Thanks, Jerry
